Tech Tools to Prepare for the New Year
We are coming up on the new year, and with that comes office organizing, decluttering, and preparing for the next tax season. There are tech tools on the market today that can help you get organized and prepared for the new year. Here are a few recommendations from this NYC Professional Office Organizer that you can try.
BreakFree. One of the reasons that you may feel overwhelmed with balancing work and holidays is because you are lacking focus. This app will help you monitor your mobile phone use and give you insights to how you are spending your time. Once you evaluate, this app will then help you alleviate the problem. This tool can be set up to reject calls, send auto-texts, and be set up to disable the internet during specific time periods so that you can focus on the tasks at hand.
Zoho CRM. As you prepare for the new year, it’s a great time to move your contacts and clients into a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager). Zoho allows you to track visitors and email analytics so that you know what your customers are doing and you can find opportunities to engage with them. You can track sales, marketing, and customizable reporting. Zoho also help to generate more sales by using automation and workflows, and it allows you to customize for your industry. This powerful tool will help you take your engagement and sales to the next level.
iRecycle. Don’t just throw out all that excess paper and old items that you no longer use. You can use this app to find the best (and closest) recycling options for you and your business. iRecycle provides access to over 1.6 million ways to recycle over 350 materials throughout the country. You can declutter your office space for the new year without negatively affecting the environment!
ToodleDo. If you aren’t already using a to-do list, the end of the year is the perfect time to implement this new process so that you can start the next year off on the right foot. With this particular to-do list app, you can collaborate and share tasks with team members, and you are able to change the settings so that you control what, when, and how data is displayed within the app. Being able to personalize this program to how you work is a plus.
Shoeboxed. Don’t lose receipts in the piles of paper in your desk and then run around during tax season trying to find missing items. Try this app to help you keep track of food, mileage, and travel receipts with this app. Instead of letting receipts pile up in a drawer, you can use this app to organize them so you’ll know what you’ve spent, keep track of your budget, and it also syncs up with most of the popular accounting software.
As you get ready for the new year, utilize the various apps and tech tools available to help you get organized and then STAY organized in the new year! For more hands-on office organizing strategies, reach out to this NYC Professional Office Organizer today.
